Look, when things go bad the blame game gets ridiculous. Tyler has never had the quickness to play effective defense (although there is no lack of effort), and DJ has been off balance when shootung (although he easily was our best player against UW). Brandon had a bad game but has had a great season.

Bottom line--the team has some structural flaws but they are head and shoulders better than last year. It was a consensus opinion that we would win some we shouldn't and lose some we shouldn't. But when it actually starts to happen, too many fans start banging on the players. Stay tuned. It will get better. And if you don't think that the majority of Big Ten coaches wouldn't love to have DJ and Brandon on their teams, you're wrong.
